Hurricane Dorian slams into the Bahamas

By Meg Wagner, Fernando Alfonso III, Mike Hayes, Tara John and Jessie Yeung, CNN

Updated 5:21 a.m. ET, September 2, 2019


What we know now

    Category 5 storm: Slow-moving Hurricane Dorian continues to pound the Bahamas after making landfall at Elbow Cay, then Grand Bahama.
The storm is the strongest anywhere on the planet this year.
    The US: Residents on the southern US east coast have been warned to prepare for hurricane-force winds, though forecasts vary about when and where it may make landfall, from Florida to the Carolinas.

Hurricane Dorian will "continue to pound" Grand Bahama Island for the rest of today and tonight and will move "dangerously close" to Florida's east coast, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) warned in its latest update.

As of 5 a.m. ET the hurricane's center was about 40 miles east of Freeport Grand, Bahama Island, with maximum sustained winds of 165mph.

"Although gradual weakening is forecast, Dorian is expected to remain a powerful hurricane during the next couple of days," the NHC added.

It is the 'Birth' of the Earth's version of the GREAT RED SPOT (of Jupiter).

Next year, an even bigger hurricane.
In 15 years - it will be so HUGE that it well remain 'permanently' and soon start to 'rotate' around the world, getting bigger and bigger. They Eye of the Storm becoming like a Black Hole.

The more we look out into space, the more we 'Fear' which leads our planet to destruction at the hands of those who wish to 'leave' here.

Hurricanes lose power as soon as they hit land.

50 Shades of Dorian Grey.

So far, they start to die out over land.
But as they get 'bigger' - the lands start to look smaller.
Ever see a Hurrican blow out over a small island? Not really.
Not even the size of Cuba or PNG.

Our planet would start to accelerate with its winds so much that we would soon start having an atmosphere like Neptune's.  :P

This hurricane is very serious -
it may even get stronger.
It will get stronger - the longer it remains over water.

    Hurricane Dorian has pounded the northernmost islands of the Bahamas with winds reaching speeds of more than 220mph (355kmh).


    The first death was reported from the hurricane by Eyewitness News in the Bahamas, which spoke with a woman who said she had learned her eight-year-old grandson had died, likely drowned, and her granddaughter was missing. Both children were in the Abaco Islands.

    Dorian is the biggest storm to hit the island chain in modern times and has been described as “catastrophic” and posing a “life-threatening” risk.

    Meteorologists are finding it difficult to predict the path of the hurricane because of its wide “cone of uncertainty”. Though the Bahamas will probably suffer the most devastation, the big question in terms of scale of potential human suffering is where and when Dorian will hit along the east coast of the US, where population density is so much greater.

    Georgia and South Carolina issued evacuation orders for their coastal communities on Sunday night as the National Hurricane Center warned of storm surges that could reach 18ft to 23ft (5.5m-7m) above normal levels.

I hope it gets even bigger.
So HUGE - the entire USA gets covered in its cloud.

For a people who took to the air and soared like an Eagle to the Stars above. It was always going to be the 'Sky' that ruled the fate of the USA.  ;)
Like a 'God' the largest Hurricane to cover all of the USA would become known as 'THOR'.

Forbes agrees with you:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/lauratenenbaum/2019/09/01/global-warming-causes-more-intense-hurricanes/#3e10b81655a1


As Hurricane Dorian churns its way through the Atlantic, we need to recognize that climate change can make any hurricane more intense and Category 5 hurricanes more likely.

Burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas, release carbon dioxide and methane into Earth’s atmosphere. These gases trap heat, which means that globally, both air temperatures as well as water temperatures have increased and are continuing to increase.

Warmer air leads to more evaporation, which in turn leads to more precipitation. Then the warmer water provides more fuel for the hurricanes. Water has very high heat capacity, which means it’s very good at absorbing heat. The average temperature of the tropical North Atlantic Ocean has risen more than 1° Fahrenheit since the 1970s. And some buoys east of Hatteras have recorded increases in temperature of up to 3°, from 83° to 86° Fahrenheit over the last 40 years.

Think about how much energy and time it takes just to boil a single pot of water. Now think about increasing the temperature of the entire ocean. This is a big deal.

There have been five Category 5 Atlantic hurricanes, Mathew (2016), Irma and Maria (2017), Michael (2018) and Dorian (2019) in the past four years. And these types of storms are projected to happen more often. Meanwhile, the preponderance of evidence points to humans as the cause of global climate change.

People are busy taking cover now, but ultimately we must act more broadly and more proactively for the long term.

You mean the IPCC is telling lies? :o :o


"Floods

"There was low confidence due to limited evidence, however, that anthropogenic climate change has affected the frequency and magnitude of floods. WGII AR5 also concluded that there is no evidence that surface water and groundwater drought
frequency has changed over the last few decades, although impacts of drought have increased mostly owing to increased water demand (Jiménez Cisneros et al., 2014)"

Drought

"The IPCC AR5 assessed that there was low confidence in the sign of drought trends since 1950 at the global scale, but that there was high confidence in observed trends in some regions of the world, including drought increases in the Mediterranean and West Africa and drought decreases in central North America and northwest Australia (Hartmann et al., 2013; Stocker et al., 2013). AR5 assessed that there was low confidence in the attribution of global changes in droughts and did not provide assessments for the attribution of regional changes in droughts (Bindoff et al., 2013a).

The recent literature does not suggest that the SREX and AR5 assessment of drought trends should be revised, except in the Mediterranean region. "

Cyclones

"Numerous studies leading up to and after AR5 have reported a decreasing trend in the global number of tropical cyclones and/or the globally accumulated cyclonic energy (Emanuel, 2005; Elsner et al., 2008; Knutson et al., 2010; Holland and Bruyère, 2014; Klotzbach and Landsea, 2015; Walsh et al., 2016). A theoretical physical basis for such a decrease to occur under global warming was recently provided by Kang and Elsner (2015). However, using a relatively short (20 year) and relatively homogeneous remotely sensed record, Klotzbach (2006) reported no significant trends in global cyclonic activity, consistent with more recent findings of Holland and Bruyère (2014). Such contradictions, in combination with the fact that the almost fourdecade-long period of remotely sensed observations remains relatively short to distinguish anthropogenically induced trends from decadal and multi-decadal variability, implies that there is only low confidencev regarding changes in global tropical cyclone numbers under global warming over the last four decades."

Precipitation

"Observed global changes in the water cycle, including precipitation, are more uncertain than observed changes in temperature (Hartmann et al., 2013; Stocker et al., 2013). There is high confidence that mean precipitation over the mid-latitude land areas of the Northern Hemisphere has increased since 1951 (Hartmann et al., 2013). For other latitudinal zones, area-averaged long-term positive or negative trends have low confidence because of poor data quality, incomplete data or disagreement amongst available estimates (Hartmann et al., 2013). There is, in particular, low confidence regarding observed trends in precipitation in monsoon regions, according to the SREX report (Seneviratne et al., 2012) and AR5 (Hartmann et al., 2013), as well as more recent publications (Singh et al., 2014; Taylor et al., 2017; Bichet and Diedhiou, 2018; see Supplementary Material 3.SM.2)."

https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/chapter/chapter-3/

Then of course bushfires (wildfires) -

"Fire is an essential Earth system process that alters ecosystem and atmospheric composition. Here we assessed long-term fire trends using multiple satellite data sets. We found that global burned area declined by 24.3 ± 8.8% over the past 18 years. The estimated decrease in burned area remained robust after adjusting for precipitation variability and was largest in savannas. Agricultural expansion and intensification were primary drivers of declining fire activity. Fewer and smaller fires reduced aerosol concentrations, modified vegetation structure, and increased the magnitude of the terrestrial carbon sink. Fire models were unable to reproduce the pattern and magnitude of observed declines, suggesting that they may overestimate fire emissions in future projections. Using economic and demographic variables, we developed a conceptual model for predicting fire in human-dominated landscapes."

The most powerful storm to hit the Bahamas since records began has torn off roofs and caused severe flooding.

The slow-moving, category five Dorian - the second-strongest Atlantic hurricane on record - is now packing sustained winds of up to 165mph (270km/h) and may cause a storm surge of up to 23ft (7m).

There is no official word on casualties but the Red Cross fears some 13,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed.

The hurricane is moving slowly west, with the eastern US coast at risk.

The US states of Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina have all declared states of emergency.

I don't know for sure.
There have been many huge hurricanes in the past.
We haven't had one this big for a while.

"Recent research on tropical storms has linked climate change to more frequent and intense tropical storms that produce more rainfall."

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/30/opinion/florida-hurricane.html

Of course this is modelled research on hurricanes. Must be future climate change not present climate change.

Another view with them categorised

"“While United States landfalling hurricane frequency or intensity shows no significant trend since 1900, growth in coastal population and wealth have led to increasing hurricane-related damage along the United States coastline. Continental United States (CONUS) hurricane-related inflation-adjusted damage has increased significantly since 1900. However, since 1900 neither observed CONUS landfalling hurricane frequency nor intensity show significant trends, including the devastating 2017 season.

“Two large-scale climate modes that have been noted in prior research to significantly impact CONUS landfalling hurricane activity are El Niño-Southern Oscillation on interannual timescales and the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation on multi-decadal timescales. La Niña seasons tend to be characterized by more CONUS hurricane landfalls than do El Niño seasons, and positive Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation phases tend to have more CONUS hurricane landfalls than do negative phases.

“Growth in coastal population and regional wealth are the overwhelming drivers of observed increases in hurricane-related damage. As the population and wealth of the US has increased in coastal locations, it has invariably led to the growth in exposure and vulnerability of coastal property along the US Gulf and East Coasts. Unfortunately, the risks associated with more people and vulnerable exposure came to fruition in Texas and Florida during the 2017 season following the landfalls of hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Total economic damage from those two storms exceeded $125 billion.

“Growth in coastal population and exposure is likely to continue in the future, and when hurricane landfalls do occur, this will likely lead to greater damage costs than previously seen. Such a statement is made recognizing that the vast scope of damage from hurricanes often highlight the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of building codes, flood maps, infrastructure, and insurance in at-risk communities.” "

The earth is not a closed system like a pot of boiling water with a lid. Nor even an uncovered pot of boiling water in a closed room, or even house.

What you propose is not rocket science; it is simplistic.

BTW - Are you talking heat or energy?

The reason why hurricane strength is shown from about 1970 -

"The scale was developed in 1971 by civil engineer Herbert Saffir and meteorologist Robert Simpson, who at the time was director of the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC).[1] The scale was introduced to the general public in 1973,[2] and saw widespread use after Neil Frank replaced Simpson at the helm of the NHC in 1974"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffir–Simpson_scale

And because the categories are set by range hey are not specific. Although these days they can be accurately tracked. Although thee still seems to be some problem of determining its landed speed.

Dorian has slowed to a halt, but will get "dangerously close" to Florida

After traveling 1,700 miles, Hurricane Dorian is now sticking around Grand Bahama.

"Now, in the last 24 hours, it's only moved halfway across Grand Bahama island," said CNN meteorologist Tom Sater.

The stalled Category 4 storm means prolonged devastation in its immediate area. Five people have died in the Abaco Islands.

Dorian is now about 105 miles from the coast of Florida, and could get even closer as it starts moving again later Monday night, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Even if it doesn't make landfall, hurricane force winds can extend outward 45 miles, and tropical storm force winds can extend out 140 miles, which could devastate the coastline and cut power in the Florida peninsula.

An aerial view of the devastation caused by Dorian on Great Abaco Island in the Bahamas.


It's difficult to tell whether one scene shows a neighborhood or an industrial center. The ruin was immense; the area had been turned into what looked from above like a floating landfill. Shipping containers were tossed among the rubble.
Brandon Clement, who was in a helicopter over the island, told CNN that even new homes constructed under more stringent building codes were destroyed by the storm. One older neighborhood is gone, he said.
"You can't tell that there are any homes there. It looks like a bunch of building materials were put in a big grinder and thrown on the ground," he said.
The Prime Minister told reporters after returning from an aerial tour of Great Abaco that he estimated there was damage to 60% of the homes there. According to a 2010 census, 17,224 people lived on the Abacos and there were about 5,200 occupied houses, apartments and townhomes with an additional 2,916 vacant units.

Here's what to expect in the next 24 hours

Dorian is slowly moving up the coast toward the Carolinas, which are being lashed with strong winds and rain.

https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/digital-images/org/6993f0cc-46fe-4214-a449-150ac2b43d82.png



    In the next few hours, winds will likely pick up strength. Shortly after sunrise Thursday morning, winds will push close to 85 miles per hour, with Dorian just offshore of Charleston, South Carolina.


    Later on Thursday, Dorian will move up toward the South Carolina cities of Myrtle Beach and Wilmington, where winds could reach upwards of 100 mph.


    Thursday night into Friday could see landfall, perhaps around North Carolina's Morehead City.

    The next 24 hours will likely see Dorian waver somewhere between a Category 2 and 3 storm.

I have to admit  when I saw Trump on the golf course...I thought to myself  who the hell is advising him....

a [secret] democrat maybe...
